They did it for Tommy Robinson..

No way . new Zealand actually had it won only for 4 free runs off an English bat gave them a draw. Should have been a dead ball

Congratulations to team England... Well played...😃

Shame the live coverage in the Graun was so negative about England all the way thigh the match.

First New Zealand win with one run. WHY ICC FEEL NECESSARY TO START MACH AGAIN WITH SO CALLED SUPER-OVER After that England win with one run. Who Win the World Cup whenever it already New Zealand win !!!!!

New Zealand deserves it not England. Some bullish rules should be changed. Sorry for New Zealand. BLACKCAPS

Great congratulation england and for playing marvelous cricket to newzealand

Was that the greatest game of one-day cricket ever played?

'after a thrilling victory'? There was no 'victory'. New Zealand weren't beaten or defeated. It was a tie both in 50 over game and also in super over. England won without NewZealand losing. Please report accurately. WorldCupfinal

Congratulation to my Favorite Team (Blackcaps) for such a Unique playing. And congrats specially to cool caption Kane Williamson. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾🍾

As a tie-breaker in the super over instead of boundaries scored it should have been wickets lost. That way both bowling and batting are taken in to consideration. CWC19Final

Totally idiotic and unfair to have a single super over each to decide the winner. Who devised this rule?

Well done England , proud Scotsman cheering you on!!

Well at least I got the second leg of my Trifecta. Gutted to see Fed lose though.

England cheated! Bias umpire gave extra runs to England when Stoakes caused an obstruction. Shame that they always favour England especially at home.

Me nerves! Absolutely incredible match. Congratulations to England but big shout out to New Zealand they were fantastic CWC19Final
